Tomorrow morning at an ungodly hour Rob and I are off to Italy for two weeks. We’re flying into Rome (via Ryan Air so who knows how that will go… last time we flew to Rome on Ryan Air we had to beat old ladies with fur hats and kids with bags of duty free alcohol out of the way to get to a decent seat), spending the night there where we’ll meet my parents, and then heading on down to the Amalfi Coast. I have to say, of all the places I’ve ever wanted to go, Positano has always been top of the list. Last time we were in Italy we only managed to fit in Venice and Rome, so Rob promised we would go back to see Positano. You can see why:

How could you fail to be moved by such an incredible sight? Anyway, we’re heading down to Sorrento on Wednesday for a couple of days so we can visit Herculaneum, Pompeii and climb Mount Vesuvius; then a few days later we’re going to the Isle of Capri (hopefully if there are boats going out this time of the year we’ll be able to visit the Blue Grotto), followed by Positano for a few days, Amalfi for a few days, and then back to Rome for a night. If our last trip to Italy (February and March of 2007) is anything to go by, I know I’ll have an incredible time.
I hope the next two weeks treats you all well, and I’ll be back with loads of photos and Italian anecdotes for you all in a fortnight. Perhaps I could ask a few locals to do my terminology survey (see below post)…

I lived in Italy for a couple years, and I would love to go back. To visit, this time. Enjoy yourselves, eat lots of food and take lots of pictures!
I am so jealous! Positano is featured in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun isn`t it?
I went to Italy a couple of years ago but I was unfortunately only there for about 5 days! Oh how I long to travel more…..
Have lots of fun! Eat lots, drink lots and be merry! Can`t wait to see the photos and hear about your adventures.
Ciao bella!
Have a wonderful time! Feeling quite jealous of all the good food, good wine and beautiful sights you will be seeing. I love Italy but haven’t seen much of the south other than Rome. Cinqueterre is one of my favourite spots.
Have a brilliant time, chickadee! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
